U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps 5th
generation aircraft fly over the North
Pacific Ocean, June 13, 2024. The
speed, flexibility, and readiness of
the Air Force's strategic bombers
plays a critical role in deterring
potential adversaries and signaling
unwavering support to allies and
partners. Counter-maritime missions
provide valuable training
opportunities to improve
interoperability and demonstrate that
Air Force forces are capable of
operating anywhere, anytime, to
meet any challenge decisively. (U.S.
